The Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Va., is now set for an August debut. Set on 340 acres of farmland, the brand-new resort will offer 168 luxurious guest rooms and suites; a culinary program led by Chef Todd Gray of Equinox Restaurant in Washington, D.C., including two restaurants, wine bar, cooking studio and two-acre culinary garden; an elegant spa with 14 treatment rooms and a couples suite; and an array of activities including an onsite Equestrian program with a 22-stall barn, practice ring, riding trails and instructional classes.
The property boasts tennis courts and an outdoor pool complex, and guests have privileges at the nearby Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Fifty wineries are within an hour’s drive of the resort, as are opportunities for whitewater rafting, sporting clays and raceway spectating.
The resort features 12,000 square feet of indoor conference and event facilities, including a 5,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom, and unique outdoor spaces like the Grand Lawn, Courtyard Garden and a restored 100-year-old Stallion Barn.
